| A '''jet''' is a narrow cone of [[hadrons]] and other particles produced by the [[hadronization]] of a [[quark]] or [[gluon]] in a [[particle physics]] or heavy [[ion]] experiment. Because of [[Quantum chromodynamics| QCD]] [[colour confinement|confinement]], particles carrying a color charge, such as quarks, cannot exist in free form. Therefore they fragment into hadrons before they can be directly detected, becoming jets. These jets must be measured in a [[particle detector]] and studied in order to determine the properties of the original quark.
| |
| | |
| In relativistic heavy ion physics, jets are important because the originating hard scattering is a natural probe for the QCD matter created in the collision, and indicate its phase. When the QCD matter undergoes a phase crossover into [[quark gluon plasma]], the energy loss in the medium grows significantly, effectively quenching the outgoing jet.
| |
| | |
| Example of jet analysis techniques are:
| |
| | |
| * jet [[Event reconstruction|reconstruction]] (e.g., ''k''<sub>T</sub> algorithm, cone algorithm)
| |
| * jet correlation
| |
| * flavor tagging (e.g., [[b-tagging]]).
| |
| | |
| The [[Lund string model]] is an example of a jet fragmentation model.
| |
| | |
| ==Jet production==
| |
| | |
| Jets are produced in QCD hard scattering processes, creating high transverse momentum quarks or gluons, or collectively called [[Parton (particle physics)|parton]]s in the partonic picture.
| |
| | |
| The probability of creating a certain set of jets is described by the jet production cross section, which is an average of elementary perturbative QCD quark, antiquark, and gluon processes, weighted by the parton distribution functions. For the most frequent jet pair production process, the two particle scattering, the jet production cross section in a hadronic collision is given by

| <math>
| |
| \sigma_{ij \rightarrow k} = \sum_{i, j} \int d x_1 d x_2 d\hat{t} f_i^1(x_1, Q^2) f_j^2(x_2, Q^2) \frac{d\hat{\sigma}_{ij \rightarrow k}}{d\hat{t}},
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| with | |
| | |
| * ''x'', ''Q''<sup>2</sup>: longitudinal momentum fraction and momentum transfer
| |
| * <math>\hat{\sigma}_{ij \rightarrow k}</math>: perturbative QCD cross section for the reaction ''ij'' → ''k''
| |
| * <math>f_i^a(x, Q^2)</math>: parton distribution function for finding particle species ''i'' in beam ''a''.
| |
| | |
| Elementary cross sections <math>\hat{\sigma}</math> are e.g. calculated to the leading order of perturbation theory in Peskin & Schroeder (1995), section 17.4. A review of various parameterizations of parton distribution functions and the calculation in the context of Monte Carlo event generators is discussed in T. Sjöstrand ''et al.'' (2003), section 7.4.1.

| ==Jet fragmentation==
| |
| | |
| Perturbative [[Quantum_chromodynamics|QCD]] calculations may have colored partons in the final state, but only the colorless hadrons they ultimately produce are observed experimentally. Thus, to describe what is observed in a detector as a result of a given process, all outgoing colored partons must first undergo parton showering and then combination of the produced partons into hadrons. The terms ''fragmentation'' and ''hadronization'' are often used interchangeably in the literature to describe soft [[Quantum_chromodynamics|QCD]] radiation, formation of hadrons, or both processes together.
| |
| | |
| As the parton which was produced in a hard scatter exits the interaction, the strong coupling constant will increase with its separation. This increases the probability for [[Quantum_chromodynamics|QCD]] radiation, which is predominantly shallow-angled with respect to the originating parton. Thus, one parton will radiate gluons, which will in turn radiate {{SubatomicParticle|Quark}}{{SubatomicParticle|Antiquark}} pairs and so on, with each new parton nearly collinear with its parent. This can be described by convolving the spinors with fragmentation functions <math>P_{ji}\!\left(\frac{x}{z}, Q^2\right)</math>, in a similar manner to the evolution of parton density functions. This is described by a Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-[[Giorgio Parisi|Parisi]] ([[DGLAP]]) type equation
| |
| | |
| <math>\frac{\partial}{\partial\ln Q^2} D_{i}^{h}(x, Q^2) = \sum_{j} \int_{x}^{1} \frac{dz}{z} \frac{\alpha_S}{4\pi} P_{ji}\!\left(\frac{x}{z}, Q^2\right) D_{j}^{h}(z, Q^2)</math>
| |
| | |
| Parton showering produces partons of successively lower energy, and must therefore exit the region of validity for perturbative [[Quantum_chromodynamics|QCD]]. Phenomenological models must then be applied to describe the length of time when showering occurs, and then the combination of colored partons into bound states of colorless hadrons, which is inherently not-perturbative. One example is the [[Lund_string_model|Lund String Model]], which is implemented in many modern [[Event_generator|event generators]].
